I get wrong numbers all the time in other languages. I only speak English fluently. The languages I studied previously were mainly in writing so speaking other languages is quite intimidating for me.

Top languages in my area: Spanish (mainly Mexico and Puerto Rico), Vietnamese, Korean, and Russian. I’ve also encountered Igbo, Yoruba, Arabic, and Haitian Creole.

Learning how to say something like “I only speak English” would be helpful as well.

I did find this website but I have no way of knowing how accurate it is:

    Instead of memorizing different phrases in different languages , a good advice would be to change your number if posible , or use a blocker to block strange numbers

      I appreciate it, but I can’t do either unfortunately since I have medical issues and need to answer many unknown numbers.
